The International Commission of Jurists has published the “Practitioners Guide on Migration and International Human Rights Law”. This new guide examines the protection afforded to migrants by international law, as well as its implementation at national and international level.

The book aims to clarify the rights and procedures connected to the way migrants enter a country, their status in the country of destination and the human rights and refugee law rights linked to expulsion procedures. The guide focuses also on the economic, social and cultural rights that should be granted to migrants.
